So was looking for serious suggestions on a new path for me to make isk. Mining just isn't cutting it for me. Here is a link to my skills. So you may better decided what my character what be best suited for me. Skills to pay the bills I have thought about getting into manufacturing combat boosters but am not sure on this. Also on the 1st i will have 4billion isk to invest in what ever i decided to do.

I recommend abandoning your carebear ways, and getting your pew on. Take 500m and join one of the relatively open recruiting groups to get some experience and a kill board history while training utility pvp skills. Then leverage that to get into a corp/alliance with a good SRP program. Invest another 1B or so in doctrine ships, and you either have 2B left to get into a carrier or to supplement SRP for a very long time.

if you want isk AND fun on the same low sp character, there are few better ways than faction warfare.

i have a 2 week old alt with 250,000 fw lp... the conversion ratio is around 1LP = 2000 isk

on this char i mostly just do fw pvp, which leads me to my next point...



at your low sp level, dont try to solo anyone, you will get owned and frustrated.

farm LP in a cloaky stabbed frigate and run/cloak when someone shows up on short d-scan

PvP in fleets - join a fw PLAYER corp and try not to screw anything up :)


you're welcome :)

That 500m will last you ages when you're learning, because you shouldn't be flying anything much beyond frigates and destroyers.

You're in the perfect position to ransom your corp by means of AWOX. That's one place to start making ISK using the skills and assets you already possess.

If it's a surprise to you that it's taken 2 months to sell, it's probably because you didn't research your market to see what kind of volume you could expect to sell.

mm, yes, just my point..spending 9 hours a day waiting for youre 6 toons to download to Eve Central, then spending another 4 hours day drooling over the spreadsheets is sooo much better then mining. Hell, you get 10 hours of "gameplay" without even logging in yet..soo awesome.

If you've got zero skills the only way you're gonna make isk is to buy/sell GTCs/PLEX. I suggest you get the core skills for frigate/dessie pvp up and get into FW: plex in quiet systems, get to know people, cash in the FW LP for faction swag, sell, make money for better ships and stuff. It takes money to get into industry and market activities, and if you ain't got it, don't bother. And no, you can't start with T1 Ammo manufacturing any more: the margin is almost non-existent as to be a waste of time.

You can try getting into L4's missions, salvage everything, use the salvage to build T1 rigs, sell in out-of-the-way system (not in Jita, for god's sake), and that can help line the wallet. Get into PI with stuff like Coolant for easy cash, or Robotics if you have 5 planets to build a chain with. It only takes (about) 15 minutes per day (I do 24-48 hour cycles), decent passive isk, even in high sec. If you have access to quiet low sec with accessible POCOs, use those for the scarcer materials, dive in occasionally with a Blockade Runner, and get back to high sec.

I suspect the OP should visit the Market Discussion forum and invest at 5% per month or higher with the 4b ISK.

Manufacturing is not fun, but it is making ISK with low effort.

If you put lot of effort, you can make lot of ISK. You can easily do 20B per month as solo player inventing and selling T2 ships (selling in hours, not months like this guy posting above). But hmm ... maybe the 4B is not enough to start the business. But you can do T2 ammo which requires low ammount of start ISK.

Skill for tengu and go hunt anomalies. You can do 100-120M per hour in medium skilled tengu. Farm the anoms for a while and invest the money in manufacturing.

Or join some 0.0 corp with POCOs and go for PI. For me, this is the most boring thing in EVE, but I know people who run planets often and they like it. There is also lots of free ISK in that.
